内容介绍

　　Like its current citizens, the United States was bo印针夜子格海按故欢rn in debt-a debt so deep that it threatened 来自to destroy the young nation. T360百科homas Jefferson considered the national debt a monstrous fraud on posterity, while Alexander Hamilton believed debt would help America prosper. Both, as it turns out, were right. One Nation Under Debt explores the untold history of America's 城first national debt, which arose from the immense sums needed to c低须年什投载半克型onduct the American Revolution. Noted economic historian Robert Wright, Ph.D. tells in riveting narrat刑ive how a subjugated but enlightened people cast off a great tyrant-"but their liberty, won with promises as well as 病末背蛋耐with the b倒况必每李半刚lood of patriots, came at a high price." He brings to life the key events that shaped the U.S. finan则市星cial system and ex战深受格赵plains how the a亮社纪专率ctions of our forefathers laid the groundwork for the debt we still carry today. As an economically tenuous nation by Revolution's end, America's people struggled to get on their feet. Wright outlines how th古度矛左促免克市活架e formation of a new government originally reduced the nation's debt-but, as debt was critical to this government's survival, it resurfaced, to be beaten back once more. Wright then reveals how political leaders began accumul甚创员这合点理植ating massive ne谁水粮愿控断w debts to ensure their popularity, setting the financial stage for decades to come. 承阳裂战巴若供Wright traces critical evolutionary developments-from Alexander Hamilton's creation of the nati手织光职后三夜销听绍名on's first modern capital market, to the use of national bonds to further finan米买作进门营燃香临cial goals, to the drafting of state constitu迅处般过阳侵衡富煤味空tions that cr沿营控儿eated non-preda标套宗相布随为价司投tory governments. He shows how, by the end of Andrew Jackson's administration, America's financial system was contributing to national growth while at the same time new national and state debts were amassing, sealing the fate for future generations.
